Graham Norton has shot down a “conspiracy theory” surrounding Taylor Swift ’s “Opalite” music video, in which he guest stars.

Speaking at the Royal Television Society conference in London, Norton said seeing his famous “ The Graham Norton Show ” sofa brought to life in Swift’s video was “really odd” and “made my dreams come true.”

But he debunked a rumor circulating online that Swift first filmed the music video – which stars Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, Cillian Murphy and Lewis Capaldi — and then arranged for its cast to appear on Norton’s show.
